YouTube Educator Ms Rachel Pledges to Match Macklemore's $1m Palestine Donation

YouTube personality Ms Rachel has said she will match a $1m donation made by rapper Macklemore to organizations supporting Palestinians, according to The Guardian.

Ms Rachel, known for her children's educational content, described the donation as a response to a "moral obligation," the report said. She called on "every wealthy white celebrity" to consider making similar contributions.

The pledge follows an earlier announcement by Macklemore, who said he would donate the entirety of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to several organizations focused on the Palestinian people. Macklemore was reportedly fired as the opening act on Sheeran's tour after saying "Free Palestine" on stage during a performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, according to The Guardian.

Details on the specific organizations set to receive the combined donations from Ms Rachel and Macklemore were not fully specified in the available reporting.

The Guardian's report did not include further comment from Ed Sheeran's team regarding Macklemore's dismissal from the tour, nor additional statements from Macklemore beyond the pledge itself.
